Alice is watching her mother make some tea. Her mother fills the tea kettle with water and plugs it into the outlet. She turns the switch on, causing it to glow red. Soon, Alice can see steam rising from the spout of the kettle. The steam builds until the kettle lets out a loud whistle. The diagram shows the kettle. Alice claims that energy is being transformed when her mother makes tea.  What transformations occur?  Choose the BEST answer.

• electrical -> light and heat -> sound

• sound- > electrical -> heat

• heat -> electrical -> sound

• electrical -> sound -> heat -> light
